Gamespot follows IGN's lead today with their own preview of Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, scheduled for release in September. With an article and several gameplay movies, they have covered the game well.

We played through a brief single-player demonstration in which we had a chance to try out the abilities of Sareth, the very talented and formidable warrior you'll play as in the game. Sareth has command of four major classes of weapons: close-range melee weapons; bows that can fire arrows from a distance; assassin's daggers (which can be used to instantly and viciously end the life of an unsuspecting enemy from behind); and various classes of powerful magic spells. You'll have access to all these tools over the course of the game, and you'll be using the same control setup as a typical PC first-person shooter: your W, A, S, and D keys to move, your mouse to aim, your left mouse button to attack (with a weapon or a magic spell), and your right mouse button to either defend or zoom in on an enemy with your bow.
